Before you let someone tint your vehicle’s windows, there are a few things you should know. Quality window tint, installed by professionals, not only ensures your ride stands out, it also means they will last a very long time.
To make sure you don’t get stuck with fading tint and bubbles in your tint, asking a few questions before choosing a window tint service.
How Long Will the Window Tint on My Vehicle Last?
Today’s ceramic window film typically has a resistant coating, protecting it against damage from weather conditions, pets, and even kids. A reputable window tint service will have a warranty for labor and film.
How Dark Can The Window Film Be?
Florida has its own set of rules for vehicle window tint. Car Tinting Laws explains;
The percent of visible light allowed through your car windows is called VLT: Visible Light Transmission. The percentage of light allowed through your film and glass in Florida is very specific and different for sedan cars and SUV cars or vans.
Tint darkness for sedans:
Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed above the manufacturer’s AS-1 line.
Front Side windows: Must allow more than 28% of light in.
Back Side windows: Must allow more than 15% of light in.
Rear Window: Must allow more than 15% of light in.
Tint darkness for SUV and vans:
Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed above the manufacturer’s AS-1 line.
Front Side windows: Must allow more than 28% of light in.
Back Side windows: Must allow more than 6% of light in.
Rear Window: Must allow more than 6% of light in.
How long before I can roll down the windows, after I have them tinted?
The general rule to complete the curing process is 24 hours. But don’t worry the professional window tint installers at Rite Now Mobile Detailing will tell you everything you need to know before you leave. While it may be tempting, rolling your windows down too soon may damage the tint.
